And the Owls are on the board first with a home run to right field from Jackson Ross for his 11th this season, with FAU leading 1-0 entering the bottom of the 1st! Great to see his performance from this past Tuesday against FGCU is carrying over!

FAU WITH 6 RUNS IN THE 2ND, and Caleb Pendleton has COME TO PLAY with this ROCKET to right field! A 2-RBI double from Christian Adams and an RBI double from Nolan Schanuel also helped grow the Owls' lead as they hold a 7-1 lead after the 2nd inning.

#FAU has come out BLAZING @UAB_Baseball to start Game 1, taking a DOMINANT 7-0 LEAD in the 2nd inning which includes this FANTASTIC 3-RUN HOMER from @CalebPendleton9! 🔥 CAN'T IMAGINE A BETTER START! 😎 #GoOwls!🦉⚾️🧢 pic.twitter.com/1faj46QglE

Wonder which car got hit…

 

Not gonna lie, I'd like FAU baseball to have an instant replay system similar to UAB's. Looks pretty good knowing it's on C-USA TV.

Owls EXPAND THEIR LEAD TO 12 with 2 RBI singles from Pendleton and Ross, and GOLDSTEIN WITH THIS GRAND SLAM! RUNNING AWAY WITH IT!

🚨GRAND SLAM ALERT🚨 @FAUBaseball continues to TORCH @UAB_Baseball with 6 MORE RUNS in the 3rd inning, this time with @Goldy0808 FIRING HIS HOME RUN to right field to give #FAU a 13-1 LEAD! THE BATS ARE NOT STOPPING! 😤 #GoOwls!🦉⚾️🧢 pic.twitter.com/SHyRvppOt7

UAB gets three runs back as CJ Williams' time on the mound ends with Braden Ostrander checking in. Williams finishes with five hits allowed, five walks allowed, and two strikeouts in 3.2 innings as he is fortunate that FAU has a sizable 13-4 lead entering the 5th to make up for it.

After two consecutive scoreless innings from both sides, lightning in the area has stopped play for the time being. Owls remain with a 13-4 advantage in the 7th.

     

Play will resume around 9:15 PM our time! 😉
